INTIMACY
TREASURES OF GRACE (Daily Devotional)
MONDAY, 6TH FEBRUARY 2017
TOPIC: INTIMACY
SCRIPTURE: Jesus said, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover meal with you” - Luke 22:15
MEMORY VERSE: James 4:8
DIGGING DEEP: The goal of our walk with the Lord is intimacy with Him. God wants our intimacy with Him to be so strong so that it communicates Him to others. Our text reveals that God is eager to be with us and feed us. Adam had such an intimacy with God so much that it brings God down unto Him everyday. Now the new Adam (Jesus Christ) has brought us back to this original place of deeper intimacy with Him.
Nothing totally changes a person's life like connection with God. God created us for communion and intimacy with Him. Those that are intimate with God do not live a religious life but live a righteous life.
Intimacy with God removes vacuum and void ness from our Spirit. God is longing for you just as you are longing for Him. Longing is key to intimacy with God. Revelation 3:21 "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me."
Three secrets of intimacy with God:
1) LEARN TO ALWAYS OPEN YOUR HEART TO GOD: God only enters where He is welcomed. If He is knocking and you are locking, you will never have Him in you. Today, shut other things off your heart and open your heart to God.
2) LEARN TO YIELD TO HIS VOICE: There is a nudging in our spirit from God. A times this comes as an urge to go and pray, an urge to go and study or even as an urge to stay quiet and just worship. This is the voice of God in your spirit knocking and seeking intimacy with you.
3) LEARN TO EAT WHAT HE GIVES YOU: God never visits you without giving you something to take in. He gives you His word take it in, He will give you purpose, assignment and power take it in. The more we take in what He feeds us with the more we keep Him close to us. He fills our hunger and satisfies our taste.
Finally, the mark of intimacy with God is filling us up and the purpose of filling us is to overflow us, so that others can be drawn to Him through us.
I decree that you will enjoy unexplainable intimacy with God in Jesus' name.
PRAYER: O Lord i open my heart to you come in and fill me.
